A fabulous bolthole if you like to be on your own and quiet; we loved it. We slept like babies in the peaceful surroundings, bothered by no-one, apart from a pheasant and his harem passing through. There is an equally peaceful, but very accommodating and historic pub a mile or so away, which served substantial meals at good prices. The cottage was spotless and provided everything you could need, including tea towels, which I often forget and aren't always available. I used the teapot, so would have liked a tea cosy, but that's no big deal. Some basics, such as teabags, balsamic vinegar, S&P, toiletries, starter pack of logs, were thoughtfully provided, along with more than ample towels. The cottage is comfortable and cosy, with a lovely finish and we thought it was good value for money. You are about 20 mins or so from Louth, where there are lots of cafes and restaurants. The Mansion House served delicious food in a historic building; we went twice as the staff were so nice and helpful, in addition to the excellent food. Highly recommended and very unusually, we will probably go back for more R & R.

Lovely cottage. Beautifully kept and very clean. Had everything you could possibly need. Really enjoyed visiting Lincoln city centre and excellent Italian restaurant in Louth. Would recommend this cottage as an escape from busy London where I live.
